I actually preferred hurling (that's truly brutal), but was never going to pick up the skills needed to be good at it. With football, I could make up for technical deficiencies using my height and size to bully people. Good fun!

I wouldn't expect anyone trading with someone in the EU NOT to meet their standards

Just as I would expect anyone trading with us to meet ours
Do you not think if a manufacturer (Of whatever) here at the moment hasn't to meet China’s or the USA Standards?
I bet you if anyone trading with the USA doesn't and it causes Health or other problems will soon fall a ‘cropper’ in their courts
I know from working on Export sales how careful you need to be

I've worked in overseas exports (B2B) most of my career. You mention China and USA, the difference is we don't have free trade with those countries so each order has to be sold to strict specifications as you say.

We've been bullshited all along by the Brexits that we'd get a free trade deal with the EU and be free of EU law. We were promised we'd have our cake and eat it, total bullshit. A lot of people voted Brexit because they were told, and believed, we could.

Just like today. Oh it'll all work out. The world wont end. Quite true. If only all these people living for today were the sort that didnt bleat or have a political transformation when the shit hits their fan downstream. As for many it most certainly will.

I suspect we do more trade with the USA than any other Country in the EU. (Probably not the EU has a whole) admittedly, but for that we were paying has a member roughly 14 Billion a year

FOR WHAT I ASK YOU?

My answer would be to fund a bureaucratic organisation in Brussels made up largely of Top people who were second rate Politicians in their own Country’s. Past and current Presidents being good examples

If it had stayed has a Common Market I would have had no problems, why such previously Great Independent Countries like France and Germany (never mind Us) gave it up I have never quite understood and probably never will

So exports to the US are less than those to France and Germany combined.

Also, the EU is a lot more than just a trading body. As, it ensures security of supply, and it is a powerful trade negotiating block which is greater than the sum of its parts.
And then there's the collaborations in science and space programs. That's were a lot of the money goes and it's reinvested in UK Universities and start up companies.
So the net £8billion pa that goes to the EU is largely an investment, not simple expenditure.

So in your own words the US is our largest individual trading Partner, and that without an official trade deal too

As for the EU Countries, are you really saying we won't 'do' trade with them even if we left with No Deal, sorry that beggars belief
There is a chance China will improve (if we want after this current lot)
I suspect we ‘do’ quite a lot of trade with both Japan and Korea already

And you seem to have Complete forgotten one of the World’s biggest market India

And then there are our other Commonwealth Countries; Canada, Australia and News Zealand to name but three

Open your eyes there’s a whole big World out there, we traded with nearly everyone once, with the right attitude we can ‘do’ it again

A new study reports anti-immigrant sentiment softened among both Leave and Remain camps after the 2016 referendum.

"People across the political spectrum experienced a backlash against nationalism and xenophobia. It is a testament to the democratic norms of this country that individuals self-corrected en masse in response to a political climate that they perceived as hostile or intolerant."
